Typical Baltimore mindset, a criminal fleeing the police and you want tto blame the police. A roadblock would be almost impossible. Too many city streets would have to be blocked on short notice and nothing would prevent the suspect from turning down any number of streets.

You do realize that road blocks are almost impossible to set up at a moments notice, not to mention the fact there aren’t enough police cars in one district to funnel a suspect down a certain street.
Most chases last only a few minutes and yes, they call for helicopter support, but most of the time the chase is over prior to the helo arriving on scene.

Instead of commenting on what the police should or shouldnt do…why not say….”IF YOU COMMIT A CRIME…AND THE COPS ARE TRYING TO PULL YOU OVER…DONT TRY TO OUTRUN THEM OR YOU MIGHT HIT A PAWN SHOP AND WRAP AROUND A POLE…YOU IDIOT!” Innocent people could have been hurt of killed…

I’m going on a limb here and saying bernard is either related to the victim or a lawyer trying to cause some commotion in order to sue the police dept. Either way what an idiot you are. We just do not have cops available at the push of a radio button to prepare for a road block.

We will soon find out that the perp probably had a suspended licences and instead of pulling over and taking the ticket he chose to drive at a dangerous speed and wrap his car around a pole to avoid a $150.00 ticket. whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I think he just has the typical mentality that so many people (unfortunately) have today.. Always wanting to blame someone else.. It is lucky that the police or innocent bystanders were not hurt in this accident .. It could have been a lot worse. Who really cares if the perp was hurt? Personally I don’t but you know his family is gonna be suing the cops for this one. Let’s all say it together now, “but he’s a good boy. he never done no wrong.” what a joke

I care if the “perp” was hurt. She is my cousin. And no one will be suing anyone. And she has done alot wrong no one thinks she is perfect. But people like you are the onesd who deserve to be repremanded for how ignorant and hateful you are.

Sorry but I have NO MERCY ! For losers out doing DIRT and yes I said doing dirt. If you have to run from the police your DIRTY in some way. Probably drugs. Personally I wish the cops could just shoot the B’s. Tired of feeding and housing the dirtballs and crackheads in jail.

How many of you drank and drove before? Or should i say got away with it. It was a mother who had a problem. Good thing everyone else making comments is perfect. Those of you with no mercy, pray that judgement day is far away.

There should be NO TOLERANCE for anybody on a high speed chase that may have endangered numerous lives, including the police. It’s not about perfect, it’s about this trash running the streets commiting crime. And…………….anybody who is DRINKING and DRIVING deserves what they get. If you don’t know somebody who lost a family member because of somebody who “has a problem”, then shut up! Dead people can’t speak after a drunk has killed them.

Those who have problems Especially mothers Are a DANGER to society AND theire own children, theire problem becomes EVERYONES problem when they hurt innocent people includind our children. The problem is They CHOSE to run wich ENDANGERS OTHERS.. I AGREE we are not all saint but come on man, Running from the cops. please….. They got what they deseves. Who knows maybe them crashing was the Lord saving some innocent person who was doing the right thing like going to wrk instead of out doing something they shouldnt be doing. They are a menace and cause Their PROBLEM to be EVERYONE ELSES PROBLEM.

How about not letting the Police leave the station until AFTER a crime is committed, only responding to take the report. No lights, sirens or speeding. Better yet, eliminate the Police altogether. The citizens can fend for themselves. Ask the citizens of Camden N.J. if the feel safer now that HALF the cops are gone. I know the criminals are LOVING it. Wake up ppl. The Police aren’t the problem.

No one has the right to judge anyone else. Just because someone made a bad decision doesnt mean that they should be ejected from the car or shot. Come on people what if this was your loved one or family member. would you be showing no mercy to them. im not saying that the person should have fled from the cops but just because they did that doesnt mean we have the right to call the a dirtball loser or saying that it would be even better if you were lucky if they are off the street forever. Thats like wisking someone dead. Seriously. Nobody has the right to say something like that. Come on now.

Realy? I didn’t see not ONE excuse in what chillout said. I seen PEOPLE MAKE MISTAKES. Thats not an excuse, that’s the truth. people do make mistakes are you god damn perfect? I’m sure you’re not. And i’m sure all your loved ones are model citizens lol. right.

What if it was your loved one, or your little baby hurt by one of these monsters? Never be able to hear your baby say Mommy I love you, Mommy I’m afraid and your can no longer protect your innocent little baby because one of these Monsters robbed you of that… What would you say then? Its sad but it happens all the time.

You said two wrong things here. As to your comment that “No one has the right to judge anyone else” that is against human nature. You need to learn that people judge others every day for a variety of reasons. If someone chooses to engage in very dangerous criminal behavior, I, and society at-large, have the right to judge. Then you said, “Just because someone made a bad decision doesn’t mean that they should be ejected from the car or shot.” Not wearing a seat belt IS a bad decision. How can anyone not know this? They are “free” and the CONSEQUENCES of not using one have been very much publicized for decades. Making that bad decision to not wear the belt was an intentional decision by that driver and the laws of physics frequently cause ejection. As they say in elementary school to the kids, think first, then act.

Chillout-
I guess you are the type of person that is against the death penalty, even for child killers. I’m sure you wouldn’t feel the same if it was your child or mother that is killed by this idiot. You can say what you want but these idiots could care less about a human life so why should we care about theirs?

NO ONE WAS KILLED. Yes, someone could have been. Burt they werent. And i am against the death penalty of ANYONE. No one deserves to die until god is ready to take them. And judges don’t get to play god. And im pretty sure ” fleeing from police” isn’t punishable by death so why the hell should any of you idiots get to sentence her to it?

she just lucky anyway she aint gonna see her 5 year son any time soon now her face is messed up and she has broken bones and she go right to jail for that crime hit and run evading police she being charged with alot im really hoping her kid dont suffer for her crime but losing a mom he will sad sad sad

Samantha, grow up! She and the public were only lucky she didn’t kill someone ….. this time. Your thought and comment tell me and other readers that you depend on “luck” to get through life. You fail to see that anyone driving like she was is handling a 3,000 to 4,000 deadly weapon. It can kill just a surely as a gun or knife.

For your information, NO auto insurance policy pays for damages, injuries, or death in such a case as this where the driver is fleeing/eluding police. So, her
actions will result in losses to the shop owner and the pole utility company that her insurance (if she had any) will never pay for. So, they can sue her for that but I am sure she has no money to pay them and no assets for the sheriff to seize to satisfy a financial judgment issued after suit from the court.

You know if the person kills them self than that saves us the Tax payers some much eeded money. Good thing the only thing harmed in this situation is the Pole, That poor poor pole didn’t even have a chance. Take a look at the pictures of the car and pole, imagine had this person would’ve hit a human being. holy cow. I’m not a betting man, but I would put my money on this person surviving and doig something like this again in the future.

This was a terrible crash and my family is in Baltimore hurting right now You dont know this person and you are judging her unfairly You should be praying for her innocent family what if she was your daughter or granddaughter You would not be saying these things then

I do feel for her family and I pray the Lord gives them peace. However what if she was the victim of someone else doing what she did. what if a drunk driver hurt or killed her. How would you feel. about the person responsable. I dont think its personal, its just life is hard enough and this kind of behavior angers people and they are venting not just about this situation but this kind of situation.If you are a family member I do feel for you and pray for your peace.

My family is going threw a very bad time..Yes what she did was wrong…but NO one deserves to get hurt like this….the family is suffering the worst. Bad choices make people do bad things and NO one is perfect…and everyone makes mistakes. Thankfully no one else was hurt and instead of judging her you should pray for her family…Ignorance is what makes people say things such as I hope the person got ejected….come on people for real!! How many of you have drank and few drinks and thought I am ok to drive??? What if’s…….thats all people have and none of you are God last time I checked so dont judge people!

Chillout – Tired, sick and tired of excuses, people need to start taking responsibility for their own actions. There is a portion of society called “bleeding heart liberals”, you may fall in that category, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to make excuses for people who deliberately endanger the lives of innocence. Trust this – if you lost a loved one because of the negligence of somebody who was willingly irresponsible, you would not have the same mentality, and if you did, then I would wonder!!! I will leave it at that.

ITS NOT ABOUT HAVING A DRINK OR TWO. RUNNING FROM THE POLICE IS A CRIME AND THE CAUSE OF THIS. THOSE WHO SAY THE POLICE WERE WRONG FOR CHASING HER NEED TO WAKE UP. THE POLICE ARE DOING THEIR JOB. PROTECT AND SERVE. IF SHE HAD JUST STOPPED SHE WOULD’T BE IN THIS SITUATION, HER FAMILY WOULD.NT BE IN THE SITUATION SHE HAS CAUSED THEM TO BE IN. IF THE POLICE DIDNT CHASE CRIMINALS WHERE WOULD WE BE? EVERYONE WOULD JUST GO AROUND BREAKING THE LAW AND WOO HOO JUST RUN AWAY. .

First off, I just want to say if it wasn’t for me stopping at a green light and her hitting the pawn shop I am sure this young girl would have killed me, my unborn baby and my family that was in the car with me last night. Even though I was that innocent bystander that could have been killed by this young girl I still feel very blessed that I wasn’t. I was in shock when the fire dept. pulled that young girl out of the car and she was still alive and I pray for her speedy recovery and also her family. I am also praying for the family in the car she hit and ran prior to her accident. A lot of people were very lucky last night. Just to clarify as an eyewitness, the POLICE WERE NOT CHASING HER!!!!

so sad ive always been told that the drug driver or drunk driver always survives the accident and the innocents dies im seeing it so true even thow no 1 died drugging and driving just as bad as drinking and giving these idiot meth to come off drugs dont help it a cover up so be aware the person next to you a druggy on meth

You are the silent victim in this case, no one is blaming you for her fault. You are the ones who have to try to help her, but you know as well as I do helping a young person under the influence of drugs or alcohol. She really doesn’t care and the only ones left to suffer are you and your family. I express my sinceriest sympathy to you , but not her.

To Mikeyswifey,

It is glad to see that you and your unborn baby are ok and this could’ve turned for the worse for you and your family. Now that we know the polive wasn’t chasing her from an eyewitness point of view, this even makes it worse for her. Kids these days watch to much Tv, but don’t realize that unlike in a movie when the director says cut the actors get up from playing dead.

Let me tell all of you something. That girl in that is like a sister to me. She made a mistake, people make mistake. Havn’t any of you ever made mistakes? If you does that mean to deserve to die because of the mistakes you made? No one deserves to die like that. She is a mother of a 5 year old little boy, and yes that is all the more reason why she shouldn’t have done what she did, but no one has good judgement of all the time. Just because you have a lapse of judgement does not mean to deserve to die or even be hurt for that matter. You people need to know that god created everyone equally and none of you are any better than her, you just might make a better decision here or there. I’m not saying that what she did wasn’t wrong because it absolutely was but would fleeing a cop sentence someone to death if it went to court? No, not by the laws that i follow. So she shouldn’t be sentenced to death by you people. None of you have any right to judge her, especially since you don’t have a clue who she is. All you know is that she “ran from the cops” nothing more, nothing less. You people really need to think about what you say before you say it, and don’t cast stones when you live in a glass house. Everyone sins and everyone makes mistakes. Her could have cost her her life, fortunately that wasn’t the case.

I do know this girl. And she is NOTHING but a trouble maker. She is CONSTANTLY starting problems with females and everybody else that she can. AND she ran from the cops, because there was drugs in her car & she was high. Thank the good lord that her son was dropped of before-hand. Let me ask you this..If i was the one who did this & i killed your cousin who was “an innocent bystander” would you defend me??

That girl is a careless Heroin addict who doesnt even have custody of her son because she is always HIGH!! The car was searched and drugs were found inside so she did this to herself. Had she been taking care of her son instead of worrying about her next fix this wouldnt have happened. Thank god she had dropped her son off to a responsible adult right before this happened or he would be dead. Im glad she isnt dead because nobody deserves to die, But I cant say that I feel bad for her because I dont. Maybe this will be her eye opener and she will get her life together. MAYBE.

This girl is nothing but trouble!!! Has been for a very long time, she is a junky and a theif. Her own father doesnt even want anything to do with her because she got caught stealing 600 dollars worth of stuff from his house so she would have money to buy drugs. She even went for a long time without seeing her son because she was shooting up drugs in front of him and dont anybody try to say im lying because you know im not! A mistake is something that happens once and you learn from it, This wasnt a mistake this was a careless person who doesnt think about anything except theirself and where their getting their next high from!! Thank god her son wasnt in the car, at least she had enough sence to drop him off before her drug run. I really hope that this expeirience wakes her up and makes her realize that she needs to grow the heck up, start taking care of her son like a REAL woman! Her family needs to stop spending time defending her and start spending their time helping her..since they love her so much!!

jep you said it crama its called in intervention stop defending and start helping hey family you could have stopped this and we wouldnt be here writing about it so dont blame us blame urself and if you try you will lose like i said right now for yall not helping her is gonna kill her son because he will have no mommy she being charged with hit and run and avading police ong sentence for her she be clean now no thanks too you guys

Once again, i’m not defending her, there is no defending what she did. But i will defend the fact that she DOES NOT DESERVE TO DIE and did not deserve to be injured so severely, no one does, i don’t care what the case is no one deserves what her and her family are going through. Do you think god would wish that on anyone? No. So what gives you people the right to say what your saying about her? And to the one’s that “know” her i can gurantee you that you haven’t know her as long as i have, you didn’t know the girl who was wonderful and would have done anything for anyone and had your back no matter what, before drugs took her over. She can be that person again, i truely believe that. Like i said, if you want to talk trash about her, atleast use your real name so you can be confronted. Don’t be a coward. MY PRAYERS ARE WITH THE REST OF THE FAMILY AND ESPECIALLY WITH HER. And all of your should be as well, I hope judgement day doesn’t come soon for you people because you will surely be judged harshly, just how you are judging this young girl.

shes still a person everyone needs to have compassion!!! shes my bestfriend!!! shes still a good person with a few flaws!! you all are chlidish with your foolish comments calling her an idiot and that she deserves it! no one deserves that!! keep writing hateful and negative comments because karma will come back to 10 fold!!!

Chiil Out People Noone Deserves To Die , What Would You Freeking Do If That Was Someone Close To You ….. You Need To Watch What You Say Ohkaye And For You To Say Shes A Idiot Makes Me Sick Would You Like Me To Say Your Some 40 Year Old Man Who Need A Life NO So Let It Go And Dont Be Hippacrits Your RUDE SHUT UP AND MIND YOUR OWN BUISNESSS
She Might Have A Little Problem That Doesnt MAKE HER SOME HORRIBLE PERSON Im 13 And I Realize This ……… GoooooooodByye .

ur 13 and a mouth like that already seems ur headed down the same road learn from ur family or friend mistake filthy mouth get you nowhere you better grow up quick lil girl your momma needs to teach you manners

you moron, i’m her cousin not that kayleigh girl, i’m 21 years old. Not 13. I am a full time college student who works part time, I have my own place, my own vehicle, and take care of myself. I am no where close to being a druggie.

samantha you are right she is a very wwonderful person and ive known her since middle school!! tell her family i said im praying for her!!! and that im sorry there going through this,and that i love her!!

First to the family, I truly feel for you and it must be horrible for you. I pray you find peace. You really cant help an addict that doessnt want help.Tough love and check her cell phone records. You can give drug dealers numbera to police who did she talk to that day….she survived THIS TIME ! Find out who she was with the days prior to the accident. You just might save hher life.

All I know is that god does everything for a reason. And obviously she couldnt stop being a junky herself, and her family is to worried about “having a life” than to help her, so he put the fear of death into her soul. She may have been a good person at ONE time but she isnt anymore. She has more enemies than she can count on her fingers and toes, because she does everyone dirty. And whats fun about her? The fact that she can probably shoot up more dope than half of her dope feen “friends”? Shes a sorry excuse for a Woman and an even more sorry excuse for a mother. I hope her babies father gets full custody and never lets her see her son again until she gets her life straight.

darn rumor are that she really bad off had too put her eye back in her socet and wire her jaw and too her friends bet you have shot up too with her alot of crying for her but her family should check ur arms out too and blame you not us we didnt inject her

No one is blaming you people. And check our arms? wow. I am a full time college student who is a Medical Assistance major, and i work as well, do you think i have time to shoot up or get high? And even if i did, i wouldn’t. I made something of my life, she can too if she wants it bad enough. And yeah she’s bad off, but she look great considering what her vechile looked like and what the accident entailed. Not that any on of you sorry excuse for human beings care, but she is doing much better than she was.

Hopefully this was a wake up call for her. I really hope so because more times than not addicts relaps . Then its worse. Addiction is a progressive disease and each time they return to using the less likely they will ever be able to be free. Heroin changes the persons personality forever eventually perm. Brain Damage. Crack cocain does the same thing. I know someone who has lung cancer from smoking it and its pathetic how he has allowed this drug to rob him of a quality life at 33 yrs old. I doubt he sees 35 or 40 cause that stuff OWNES HIM now. I pray for this girl and her family. She will either hurt or kill herself or someone else and take down everyone that cares . God Bless

LOL SAMANTHA YOU 2 STATES AWAY YEA AND IM LIVING RIGHT WHERE ACCIDENT HAPPEN I SEEN UP CLOSE AND IN PERSON WHAT HER CAR LOOK LIKE THERE WAS ONLY THE COP THERE AND HER CAR WAS STILL SMOKING NO FIRE NO AMB/ OR OTHER POLICE ALL U COULD SEE WAS WHITE AIR BAGS THAST EXPLODED NO 1 BLAMING ANY OF YALL SHE HAD HER OWN MINE AND SHE DECIDED TO RUN WHY BECAUSE SHE HAD DRUGS ON HER PLUS HIT THAT CAR ONLY THING REALLY CHANGE FROM HER GOING TO JAIL IS SHE SHOULD HAVE STOP LOOK WHAT IT COST HER NOW 1ST MORE JAIL TIME 2ND HER SON MOST LIKELY 3RD AND IT WAS YOU ADMMITTING IT WAS UR COUSIN THAT HOW PEOPLE KNOW SO YOU NEED TO GROW UP NOW AND FACE IT HER FOUGHT NO1 ELSES AND YES CHECK HER FRIEND THERE NOT FRIENDS IF THEY FEED HER DRUGS ND YOU DONT NEED MY NAME IF SO Y SO YOU CAN HAVE UR FAMILY LIKE FIRE BOMB MY HOUSE OR SHOOT IT UP

First off, please learn to speak correctly before addressing me. I could barely make out what the hell that comment was meant to say. But hey, what can i except from a Dundalk resident. Secondly, no one is going to bomb or shoot your house up, were not all ghetto you know. I’m from Baltimore born and raised and don’t speak the way you do. Go back to school, get an education rather than staying on here running your mouth about someone you don’t even know. Get a life.

see samantha that whats wrong with people like you biotch you dont wanna here what people say about ur family so you put them down maybe you should go back to school to hothat person didnt cause ur cousin too flee the police

Why is it yhat you have to take a drug test to get a job but not to get a free check in the mail, free medical and free food that wrking class people does that pay for these people. Isnt the economy bad enough. Im sick of supporting them

I think they need to stop making Jail like a mini vacation. Take away the internet…all books but the Bible. No tv…Phone Privileges..give them oatmeal for Breakfast…cheese sandwich for lunch…something hot for dinner. No drink other then water. Pack 6 to a cell…for 23 1/2 hours a day. Give then a half hour for a shower. Maybe if we made the jails horrible…people would stop being a idiot like this guy…and not want to go back so bad. I dont feel bad for this moron…Hes lucky that he didnt kill someone..lock him up and throw away the key…simple solution..

Beverly ann you are so right. They get free food free gas and electric now the goverment wants to jack upi the price for tax payers that are law abiding citiz
en. Meanwhile they are awarded a free f’ ing ride. They use religion to get special privileges. We pay for their free ride and they are awarded for it. Our goverment is ass backwards. They punish the good people and reward the criminals..

WOW I can not believe people would make excuse’s up for this criminal! This female named brittany bateman has a long rap sheet of criminal actions along with her drugged out boyfriend who was just locked up.She has a history of drug use,had her child taken away from her because she neglected him and used drugs right in front of him.This car was stolen it was not even her car.I feel no pitty for her they need to lock her up for along time and throw away the key.I pray her son is placed in a safe home and she lose’s her rights to ever see him.I am in shock how her family is crying all over their facebook page’s asking for ppl to pray her! She doesnt deserve any prayer’s IMO.What if she killed people? She was not thinking about the safety of anyone she is a selfish pig.Baltimore lock her up for life because she is no good being out on the streets.I hope the hospital are giving her the worst care they can because she doesnt have health insurance she doesnt have a job because she is useless.She doesnt deserve tax payers dollars! I have zero pitty for her and her family.They should have made she got help or put her out on the streets.

thanks knew something was up and her family can ask all they want maybe if we post on facebook and donte needles and herion /crack too her we can get rid of her didnt see 1 thing that her family really said bad about her or her junkie boytoy i say let them overdose who care not me a tax payer her son better off without her she done f—- his life up them b=== better offf dead

Do I think she deserves to have her face broken up…and be in so much intense pain that breathing hurts…do I think she deserves to not know if that day…will be the day she draws her last breath…yea…I do. The Drugs….stealing…being a horrible mother….thats her choice…just like I made the choice…to never have done drugs… to never have driven a car when I was impaired… to never have been arrested…. to never have stolen from anyone…I dont care if she is beautiful…fun…wonderful…and everyone loves her…which I doubt is true because she stole from her parents…and other people Im sure…I bet she isnt on their Christmas Card List..Beautiful? I have yet to see a druggie…who is Beautiful…but keep making excuses…you are gonna need them if she actually kills someone next time she does this…this wont be the last time…I doubt it was her first…

I don’t think she deserves to die. However her injuries and charges she will face are the consquences of her actions. I don’t know her as a person but i pray for her family, I pray she recovers, learns her lesson and doesn’t let something like this ever happen again.

Flyshrty sounds like you are a drug user/drug dealer! I BET YOU ARE HER FRIEND AND SOMEONE WHO CHEERED ON HER ACTIONS! IM SURE YOU ARE SAD SHE IS IN THE HOSPITAL BC YOU HAVE NOONE TO GET YOUR DRUGS FROM! DRUGGIE

Hnm so the car was stolen, hit and run, fleeing from police, destruction of property, driving under the einfluence, possession of a cds. Guess we will be supporting her in jail ask well as her medical bills.but at least she will be off the street for awhile.

To report drug activity in your neighborhood the hotline # is 410 666 3784. And you can remain anonymous. Dont let drug activity destroy the neighborhoods. When your alarm clock is going off in the morning and your wanting to just have ten more minutes of sleep, remember a chunk of your pay is being given to the druggies who collect welfare. They can sleep all day cause you are supporting them.

She is someone’s child, someone’s mother and someone’s friend. The girl is in serious need of prayer. Her little boy is too young to loose his mother. I’m sorry that she put so many lives in danger. When people are impaired they never think of consequences. I pray she pulls through, goes to jail and gets real mandatory help so she can be active in her child’s life.

Ok Aunt Lizzie she was not thinking of anyone’s safety while she was high on drug’s running from the cops! Those cops live’s where put in danger as well as innocent Dundalk resident’s. She could have killed someone’s father,mother,sister,CHILD,grandparent,cousin or friend! Think before you type and try and be the saint on this article. She is selfish and need’s to be put away for a long time. It’s a shame that poor child has a mother like HER!

What does this girl have to say for herself about what she has done ? Addicts are professional CON ARTISTS and will say anything to get out of trouble to get what they want. She needs to get some serious long term rehab. I read that even after 30 days the brain still is not back to normal. Takes something like 18 months and then they are more likely able to better truly receptive to get help but there is not cure just recovery for life . WHY WOULD ANYONE CHOOSE TO PICK UP? Its selling your soul.
